For those that don’t know, this book isn’t a fictional story. There’s a real-life Jazz Jennings. He’s a 15-year old boy who has been doing the media circuit since he was six-years old. He currently has his own reality show on TLC.
It’s a very sad case, really. The list of activist stuff credited to him suggests that he didn’t come up with any of it himself. For example, just how many (then) 10-year old boys come up with the idea of suing the US Soccer Federation to allow him to play on girls’ soccer teams?
The kid’s being used as a pawn. Whether he suffers from actual biological gender dysphoria (which is far rarer than activists who have you believe) or not, he’s been used by advocacy groups since he was a little kid.
If I am correct, the parents chose a gender neutral name from the beginning. Poor kid was kinda pushed in this direction. The most evil form of child abuse.
Is this the same kid whose mom is in full support of him? I think I remember that show when it came on TLC.
